Windows 7: File recovery help needed, Have made a school boy error.

Hello, I recently got a new SSD, installed win7 on it and all is good, decided to use the old drive for storage and formatted it, then filled it with data. I have since realised I didnt backup a few excel files which I could do with getting back. I have tried using Power Data Recovery, I have had sucess with this in the past when deleting/formatting but not when over writing.

Can anyone recomend any programs which may help? I have only written new data once, havent added and deleted multiple times.

Have just used Recuva which can see the files I need but it says overwritten, unrecoverable, It tells me what file it was overwritten with, is there anything I will be able to do to get these back using Recuva?
